18 SEPTEMBER / OCTOBER 2022 FLD LinkedIn Group Engaging members for connectivity Josh Myers Vice President - Member Engagement Indiana Bankers Association jmyers@indiana.bank @joshmyersIN FLD FOCUS The Future Leadership Division of the Indiana Bankers Association was created years ago to connect emerging leaders in the Indiana banking community. Historically, connections were made by attending networking events and other in-person opportunities. Today, with the ease of social networking platforms, the FLD is taking advantage of online connectivity to create opportunities for all FLD members to engage and grow their peer networks – without the need to travel or take time out of the bank. This year, the FLD is continuing to grow networking opportunities by reinvigorating the FLD LinkedIn group to connect with peers anytime, anywhere. I highly encourage all FLD members who are interested in joining to connect by clicking the FLD logo on this page in HB Digital, or visit linkedin.com/groups/8688085. The FLD LinkedIn page was created a few years ago and has been a reliable source to stay up to date with upcoming events and news. With guidance from the FLD Advisory Board, the LinkedIn page now offers more opportunities. Through this resource, FLD members can: % Participate in an online FLD directory to connect with peers and grow banking networks. % Share resources for leadership growth and professional development. % Interact and learn from peers on various banking leadership topics. FLD Advisory Board members are volunteering their time and expertise to help drive participation in the FLD LinkedIn group. Group members can expect to see helpful articles that Advisory Board members have uncovered and receive questions for discussion that are relevant to emerging leaders. The group will be bankerled so that material posted is relatable to others in the industry. As a reminder, the FLD’s LinkedIn group is for FLD members only. It is an opportunity for emerging leaders in the industry who want to connect further and expand their peer networks while sharing conversations and resources for the benefit of others. As with other services and programs that the IBA provides, the success of the FLD LinkedIn group will depend on the participation of FLD members. We hope that all who join will enjoy this online platform as we connect and grow together.
